600 Transformers

I was visiting a place with 600 Transformers. Really, those robots in the BMW Plant looked more impressive and, more importantly, real as compared to the Transformers. The 600 or so robots in the BMW Plant in Munich were in charge of 90% of the work in manufacturing a BMW car. These robots were giant mechanic structures with arms rotating, lifting and splashing melting metals in rhythms. The whole place was filled with the buzzing noise of the hydraulic joints and the screeching noise of metals. Car’s shell and fully-functioning cars were moving around those gigantic 3-meters arms.

  1. Oooo... Could they make a Bumblebee while we're at it? Oh yes, you can design your own car as well!
